I found this video to be pretty interesting because it talked about the psychological aspects of viewing photographs and actually showed examples of how different outside factors influence a viewer’s reading of an image. For example, because of societal advancement, we can now view high-quality images of artwork online or printed in books. But viewing a piece in person is the best way to experience the piece as it was intended; with books, computer or TV images, we are likely to be distracted or mentally influenced by our surroundings. One example of how outer surroundings influence the viewing of a painting was shown by playing two different songs over a viewing of a painting, one peaceful and one fast and tense. The painting seemed to transform in front of us as the music changed, which was a great way to show psychological factors of viewing artwork.
